How many online accounts do you have?

42

What was your GRE score?

2150 (when it was still out of 2400)

SAT?

In high school I was more interested in girls on beaches and in bikinis.  I don't recall my SAT score.

What was your undergrad GPA?

I got a C in every course that involved numbers (i.e. calculus, accounting, econ, etc.)  It's ironic that now I work with numbers.

What school are you attending?

I graduated from a better one than you're attending.



Is one of your online accounts for Rowan? Those questions were addressed to Rowan not you.

I should go get some work done, but I just can't look away.

Thanks for the subtitles that show your actions. Where's your James Earl Jones voiceover? I hear the American Studies market is really terrible.

Gasp. Oh God. My eyes are tearing from laughing. I don't get why ETE is yet persisting, but it's so, so funny.

Grenades vs. tennis balls. Hoot.

Oh, WP, I don't think ETE has a penis.

Maybe not, but ETE's moniker makes me imagine that s/he's a he, and that he likes staring at it.

Isn't it about time for the goat to show up again?  I think this thread needs the goat.

On the other hand, perhaps the goat has more serious pursuits to attend to.

Trabb, I'm glad it's been good for you.

Do goats eat irony?  If the goat is a scapegoat, would goldstein count that as a contribution to saving the world?  Am I stuck in Question mode again?

You're welcome! Sadly, I couldn't get James Earl Jones.

Yes, the American Studies market is terrible, and I consider myself very lucky to have come out on the other side with my sanity largely intact. Are you also in the field?

Some prof with halitosis made a similar remark to me once. I get the sense your professors in the 1970s hazed you guys with scandalous, lurid sex remarks, and you think this type of hazing still works. Or you cannot think up anything more original than your 1970s beatnik dissertation advisors did. A little shrine to those wild and brilliant 1970s profs of yours? The world moves on but you don't?

It's too bad your advisees won't be so lucky. Especially as you sit on your arse with a box of popcorn on a Friday afternoon

All goats are, on some level, scapegoats.  Really, 'goats would be the most accurate way to refer to them, like 'possums.

Goats eat almost anything:  irony, fluffy towels, possibly even Goldstein.  And where is Goldstein, anyway?  Did our frivolity repel him completely?

Well, trolls and goats are a natural pairing.

I think Igor was chasing the goat. I hope he didn't catch it.

I did a quick check and it seems that ETE is the queen of self-embarrassing CHE threads (3 out of 4, I cannot locate her 4th one; another distinction for her CV). She is like a prolific Ellenm. I cannot wait for her next one!

Halitosis, huh? How close were you standing to this professor when he was talking about your penis?

A little bit of a control freak?

Need to be where you're not wanted?

Nothing weird or combative about that.
